As I perhaps have said before here, though, we can't *blame* CNN or
MSNBC or Fox News for this. We have to blame ourselves. We're the
audience eating it up.
If we want media that are going to make sure we eat our vegetables, we
have to support it through government funding (PBS, NPR, BBC, CBC), or
we have to find an outside source that will not care how much money is
or isn't made (Al Jazeera; many under-the-radar conservative and a few
under-the-radar liberal U.S. news sources today). Otherwise, CNN
doesn't care about whether people get dumber.
